ANZ ADVISORY LANDSCAPE · 2026

    Independent AI advisories serving ANZ healthcare

    Cadence is one of several independent advisories operating in this space. Here's the honest landscape, and where we think each fits best.

    Independent healthcare technology partner — vendor-agnostic across the broader IT stack, with a particular focus on rural and remote ANZ providers.

    Best fit: Single-site or regional providers wanting one trusted partner across IT, security and digital health.

    Practice-led GP / allied health advisory covering location strategy, operations, and digital health implementation.

    Best fit: Practices building or rebuilding around a new clinical and operating model, where digital health is one component of a broader transformation.

    Clinician-led, Medicare-native AI consultancy that also builds its own products (ClinicOS, CanvasMD).

    Best fit: Buyers comfortable with a consult-and-build vendor under one roof, who want clinician-authored product opinions.

    Digital health R&D, evaluation, and SaMD readiness consultancy with an academic and research orientation.

    Best fit: Health services, universities and digital health startups doing evidence-based work or preparing for regulatory submission.

    Generalist AU AI strategy and vendor-selection consultancy aligned to the AU AI Ethics Principles and Voluntary AI Safety Standard.

    Best fit: Cross-industry AI strategy work where healthcare is one of several verticals being addressed.

    Where Cadence fits

    We're the narrow specialist in this list. AI voice only — front-desk phones, after-hours triage, recall and reactivation — for multi-site ANZ networks of 10+ sites. Founder-led by Mark. Vendor-neutral by mandate — we shortlist on fit, not on who's easiest to sell.

    If your problem is wider than AI voice, or your network is a single site, one of the firms above will likely serve you better than we will.
